Wawa, a chain of convenience stores and gas stations in the United States, is one of the latest companies to sign up for Tesla’s Supercharger for Business program. The company has just launched its first Supercharging site in Florida.
From Host to Owner
According to Max de Zegher, Tesla’s Director of Charging North America (@MdeZegher / X), Wawa is the largest host of Tesla Superchargers with 223 sites and 2,115 individual stalls. The partnership between the two companies started 11 years ago, in 2015. Tesla plans to install “many more” Superchargers at Wawa.
However, Wawa decided to join Tesla’s Supercharger for Business program to build its own DC fast-charging infrastructure; that way, it can own the chargers under the Wawa brand and set pricing.
“Today, I’m grateful Wawa is choosing Tesla again, this time for the first charging infrastructure that they wanted to own, price and brand. For this site, @TeslaCharging also handled the design, permitting, and build using Pre-assembled Supercharger Units. It’s part of the Supercharger secret sauce keeping cost down.”
This move indicates that Wawa sees owning Superchargers as a profitable business.
Wawa’s First Supercharger
The first Supercharging station owned by Wawa was launched in Alachua, Florida (see the map here). The station has 16 Supercharging stalls with a peak power output of up to 325 kW. The price for all EVs is set at $0.37/kWh.
The charging dispensers have NACS (SAE J3400) connectors, so CCS1-compatible EVs must bring a NACS-to-CCS1 adapter.

It’s too early to say how many Superchargers Wawa wants to deploy. The chain operates roughly 1,150 locations, so there is significant potential for expansion, even including the 223 Tesla-owned Supercharging sites already at Wawa.
The rate of expansion should tell us how profitable Wawa’s charging business is.

Earlier this month, we also reported on the Francis Energy DC fast-charging network, which started installing its own Superchargers, as well as a smaller stand-alone deployment by a local business in Idaho. In November 2025, Suncoast Charging opened its first Supercharging station and plans 20 more in 2026 alone.
